wood cuts by Hans Holbein the younger London 1529 cover design by Fred Mackie Corning Community College Corning, New York Catalogue 1960-1961 Volume 2, September 1960 Established by authority of the State University of New York and under its supervision as an associated college The Challenge o f Growth ith the enormous satisfactions which accompanied the occasion of Coming's first Commencement Exercises on June 11, 1960— now a cherished part of the college’s memorabilia—we direct our enthusiastic spirits toward a new' goal. This new goal excites the imagination and catches one up with its boldness and its magnitude of importance to the college and to our community. A true friend of the college expressed this goal to a Trustee this way; he commented, “ ...the day cannot much longer be postponed when the College should be encouraged to develop its permanent campus. That will be a Great Day!” The new goal of the college is to hasten the establishment of its permanent campus, thereby meeting straightforwardly the challenge of growth that this decade promises for Corning Community College. An inquiring spirit, common sense, and a deep devotion to the purposes of the college have led the Board of Trustees, the staff and students, the college’s sponsor—the Board of Education—and indeed scores of citizens to a widened grasp of the reality of the college’s poten­ tial as a cultural and educational center for Corning. The picture to the left is a schematic representation of the beginnings of a permanent facility to be located on a campus, “broad and green,” here in Corning. The initial buildings include the Library, the Liberal Arts and Administrative Building, the Science and Technology Building, and the Student Center-Auditorium-Fieldhouse. Important as these buildings are to the college’s future, and as freshly alive and modestly pleasant they are to contemplate, the buildings are part of a greater dream still. The greater dream is what will “go on inside” between the teacher and the students and the students among themselves. I speak of learn­ ing and teaching—the opportunity for the qualified high school grad­ uate, regardless of his own or his family’s means, to continue his educa­ tion and training under the daily contact of a remarkable faculty and near a first-rate library. The only urgency £or a permanent campus stems from the almost certain realization, based on intensive analysis over two and one-halt years, that our full-time day enrollment will reach 850 nearer to 1965 than to 1970. On page 74 o£ this catalogue, one can see the student enrollment projection tor this decade. The estimated maximum enroll­ ment on this chart for 1960-1961 is 310, and we know the college will actually have closer to 350 students. In effect, we are a year ahead of our estimates already. One more word. There are many problems and decisions of faith yet to be conquered with respect to the establishment of a permanent campus, not least of which is how this campus and its buildings will be paid for. 1 am so astonished at the present and future strength and sig­ nificance of our college in our area that it appears entirely possible that the college may become the beneficiary of a rich legacy of public and private support in the months and years ahead. This legacy will, with such characteristic generosity, forged out of understanding and friendship, carry all our plans forward towards the establishment of our own permanent teaching facilities, and in the doing, fulfill the challenges of the growth of a young institution of higher learning in our very midst.
